Age: 19 | Provenance: Holland

How do you say hello where you’re from? “Hallo.” How were you discovered? I was shopping in Holland, and there was a model contest in a mall. Model agent Jeroen van de Mast asked me to do the contest, and I finished as the first runner-up. That’s how it all started. What are you wearing? A Givenchy blouse and blazer, Prada pants, and shoes by Maison Martin Margiela. Most memorable modeling moment: A shoot with Patrick Demarchelier in Paris. There were a lot of animals like cows, chickens, and pigs on set, which was very funny. Favorite model: It has always been Doutzen Kroes . . . since I was young. She is still so beautiful. Most embarrassing modeling moment: After the Prada show last season, I fell backstage because the shoes were so high—but they were beautiful.

Favorite color: Blue, but I almost always wear black. Favorite food: A great salad. Exercise: A lot of cardio. Do you have any hobbies? When I lived in Holland, I always played volleyball and really liked it. Name something you are looking forward to in the next 24 hours: A really good massage.

Favorite destination you have been to: Phuket, Thailand. It was amazing.What item are you coveting right now? The iPad 2. I don’t have one, and I really want it. Being able to watch a movie would make waiting backstage so easy.
